Blue Skies, Nothing But Blue Skies Do I See

While wandering around the
campground last night, I ran into a couple of people from Canada. In
chatting with them, they said that they were thinking of leaving
today for other places. They are leaving behind an electrical site
so I decided I would see if I could grab it before anybody else
could. The plan was to head over to the electrical part of the park
around 8 and start stalking sites. Evidently I didn't set one of my
clocks to mountain time, it was still on central time, so I am out
the door by 7:00 a.m. - yes, a.m. I came back every hour, on the
hour, looking for an opening. I finally snagged one and started
moving over around noon.

Camping World in Tucson finally
called me back and told me that they needed two to three weeks after
they diagnose the problems with my coach to get parts. Their main
business is servicing the RV community, which is constantly on the
move. I don't understand why it takes so long to get service done.
Needless to say, even though I'm planning on staying in Tucson for a
week or two – nothing will get fixed. I will probably just have to
wait until I get back to Minnesota.

Lou and Davey have been camping
about a half hour away and drove up to go hiking through the rocks
with me. Guess they missed me. :-) I set up camp (fridge works
fine on electric), and we headed out to the rocks and spent a
pleasant hour or two wandering around out there.

What the rocks look like from a
distance:

What the area around the rocks
look like – the skies are beautiful in this part of the country:

Speaking of skies - there is no light pollution in this part of the country, maybe because there is nobody here, but I have never seen stars as intense as out here.

About Me

Retirement is grand!! I'm sorry I waited so long to get started on this phase of life. I used to travel all the time but then I got involved in the world of Icelandic Horses. That took up all of my time and money. I still have a couple of horses. I'm now trying to fit husband, horses and extended travels into the very limited 24 hours of the day. As so many others have said....how did I ever have time to work?
